Grand Theft Auto IV (Special Edition) Walkthrough & Strategy Guide

This co-op game sends you, and up to three others, on a mission to bust a drug deal. There are several objectives you'll have to complete in order to finish this mission. Also, the amount of lives you have is dictated by the difficultly level you chose (easy: 5, medium: 4, hard: 3).

Objective #1

"Make your way to the deal."

Hop into one of the nearby cars and follow the route shown on the map to where the deal's taking place. It's best if your entire team catches a ride in the same car, that way you'll all arrive at the same time.

Objective #2

"You've found the deal. The targets are spread over every floor of this building. Work your way up, clear them out."

You'll find thugs spread across every floor of the building, and not only will you have to kill all of them, but you'll have to collect the drug bags that they drop after dying. It's best to stick together with your teammates and tackle the floors one at a time. Try to stick to the perimeter of each level and use the support pillars to minimize your exposure. Also, don't depend on your radar too much, as it doesn't display which floor the enemies are on.

TIP

Look for a couple of rocket launchers on the fourth and fifth floors, which can be helpful for taking down your opponents.

After collecting the last package, you'll be given your next objective.

Objective #3

"The remaining Angels of Death are fleeing. Eliminate them."

There are three potential groups of Angels that you'll have to chase down, but the exact ones seem to be random. Here are the three groups you may have to track down:

A pair of bikes leaving the parking lot at the base of the structure, traveling down Trinity Road.

A boat leaving the dock, west of the structure.

A van leaving the parking lot at the base of the structure, traveling down Trinity Road.

Although the exact groups are random, you can use your radar to quickly check out who you'll have to chase down. If they take off in the van or on bikes, chase them down using the remaining bikes and shoot their vehicle until it explodes. If they use the boat, hop into the available one along the western dock and chase them down.

TIP

To get a head start on catching your opponents, avoid grabbing the last dropped drug bag until the rest of your team is at the base of the structure, this way they'll already be in position when the thugs try to escape.

Objective #4

"You've taken the drugs and eliminated the witnesses. Get to the rendezvous point."

After taking down the escaping thugs, you'll have to regroup at the safehouse where you began the mission (shown on your radar). Don't worry about rushing, as there's nothing to worry about now.

Objective #5

"Wait here for the rest of your crew to arrive."

Once at the safehouse, wait for your teammates inside the garage. Once everyone has arrived, you'll complete the mission.
